Marc Ribots Ceramic Dog - Connection [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Connection is Ceramic Dog's 5th recording (or 6th, if one counts the Bandcamp digital only EP 'What I Did On My Long Vacation', or 7th including the Deerhoof collaboration).rrIt's also their best...a work that doesn't resolve the tension between Ceramic Dog's (not-so-post) punk/new music/free jazz points of departure and the pop ambitions they've always buried (never too far) beneath the surface... so much as push to the breaking point ...Check out the post-apocalyptic landscape of 'Subsidiary', the anthemic manifesto 'We Are Soldiers in the Army of Love', or the unhinged ranting of 'Heart Attack': all perfect for slam-dancing on a minefield (our current pop moment?). Fans of minimalist polytonal disco will surely appreciate the indescribable 'No Name'. And if multiple time signatures are your bag: the song 'Connection' has what you need. 'That's Entertainment' devours/deconstructs the Hollywood standard's psychotic cliches, while winking at the Gang of Four (see 'Entertainment') and the 'gang of four' (Madame Mao Tse Tung et al.).rrBut it's the tune Ecstasy--whose Boogaloo inflected groove recalls Ribot's earlier work with the Cubanos Postizos-- that states the band's ethic in starkest terms: 'I don't want you to give me nothing...unless you give me...ecstasy.' After 18 years of collective life on the road/in this world...it seems that's the only currency Ceramic Dog still accepts. And on 'Connection', they gamble with/for it like there's no tomorrow.
